Fill us out on the details. What sort of shots are you planning? Inside or out? Do you have a boom person? Are yo planning on mounting the mic on the camera? (hope not).

Yes sir! haha Actually, I haven't planned out any shot yet. I cannot begin anything with the film until tomorrow the 14th at 8pm. That is when I can begin writing and storyboarding out every shot. (They provide us a theme, and until I know what that is I cannot start) The 22nd we begin production. I feel that the shotgun that is mounted on the XL2 isn't up to par with the sound quality that most films will have at this festival. So I need a good boom mic that can pickup clear sound that doesn't sound "distant" or anything.

I have a crew of 6 guys that will help me operate the sound equipment and anything else that needs to be done.

I will NOT be mounting it to the camera. I will be using a boom pole.

Most shots will be indoors, but I wouldn't scratch out the possibility of outdoor shots.
